Wow Korean Restaurant

We just moved to the area recently and discovered this place. It's the best Korean restaurant in Missisauga so far that I've tried. Food is really delicious, authentic and the side dishes are amazing (love the kimchi). Everything came on the table steaming hot, with a friendly service and reasonable price. Definitely coming back! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

My mom didn’t feel like cooking so a few of my family decided to go out for Korean food. Wow Korean was on my list of ‘to try’ restaurants. The interior and vibe is homey. There was a couple in cute matching white rimmed glasses who did all the cooking and a young server. This is as ‘mom & pop’ as it gets. It was kind of difficult to scroll through an iPad menu as it was fixed in place so not everyone could see the items. I was excited to see they had Gulbossam Jeong Sik ($23.99) as bossam is one of my favourite Korean eats. My sister and I decided to share it. The brined pork belly boiled in aromatics was soft and luscious. There were 2 oysters in the accompanying radish salad and they added texture and umami to our romaine lettuce pork wraps. Too bad there was only 2 oysters! The rest of my family had Pork-on-Bone Soup ($15.99). The pork was tender and the broth good. It only had a slight kick of spice which was perfect for my parents and my brother-in-law. We shared a Seafood Green Onion Pancake ($21.99) which was full of oyster, shrimp and squid, and a Pan Fried Kimchi Pancake ($14.99). Both were good but we preferred the seafood pancake. They were both filling. We gobbled everything up. It was simple, homey and delicious.

Ordered beef short rib soup and soft tofu soup. Upon tasting the soups, I said “Wow”! The soups are packed with flavour with a nice selection of side dishes. The pressure-cooked steamed rice complements the soups amazingly!

No question about the authentic quality of food. We have been through major cities in eastern part of Canada for 3 weeks and we’re hungry for home food. And we were so happy to get this restaurant by chance. Its location is a bit away from busy downtown and has a parking lot on its own. Gransma & pa are cooking to create authentic tastes of genuine Korean food. We were so thrilled to catch this place. You don’t need to fly all the way to Korea to get authentic tastes. Their cooking seems far better than average Korean restaurants in Korea. We are returning home today missing the quality and delicacy of this restaurant in Toronto. I would recommend this restaurant to Korean travelers who miss home food away from home.

I like this mom and pop shop a lot. The whole vibe is just so warm. Husband and wife duo running the whole place. Food is pretty good and prices are reasonable.

Always a good meal at Wow. Ate here about 4-5 times already and their food is consistent, great service, and value for money. The space makes you feel like you're in South Korea and the dishes have a home cooked feel too. Try the fried chicken, seafood onion pancake, budae-jigae, and spicy pork bulgogi 🔥

Amazing hidden Korean gem! Ordered the tteokbokki and nutritious rice, came with 6 delicious sides that paired well and you can get refills! The rice cakes were cooked perfectly and the sauce tasted like home cooking. The rice went so well with the tteokbokki, it was dense and tasted freshly made. The staff were very friendly, ordering off a tablet made it easy to choose and the food came quickly. Don’t miss this treasure if your in the area looking for authentic Korean food.

It is another wet and miserable 😖 evening. So my party was in the mood for something warm and comforting. And Korean cuisine hits the target 🎯. This location is a well known small mom and pop family run neighbourhood Korean restaurant that has been around for some years now. The owners greet you straight away with a smile 😊. The food … the food is oh so good 😋. Classic Korean dishes done ✅ right. Good flavours, textures and taste 👅… all highly crave-able. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with families sitting together to enjoy a good 😌 meal 🍽️. I will definitely make it a point to return even though it is a bit far for me because every dish tonight tasted fabulous. Happy Eats everyone 😎
